I am considering doings Suby conversion. I want to keep it simple and plan to use the Subaru transmission and stock ECU. I am currently looking for a donor car. This is all a bit new to me so I need to get some input from those who can
Questions Transmission. There are a number of cheap donor cars advertised with high/low transmissions will this type of transmission work? Engine: I am thinking about using EJ20 2.0 NA engine 125 hp is this a good choice and has anyone used a 1.8 or is this engine too underpowered? Appreciate some input Thanks |

Wow your talking old subarus. Find something in the 2000s that someone has stuffed. NA cars in rest of world format will most likely be SAWD boxes just like ours. Imprezzas over here all have SAWD, and lots are 2.5s, now finding them with out autos is a bigger pain.
Not sure if you have a company like CoParts over there, but this makes finding a donor in the states super easy. |
